Biochemist
About this role
About the Role We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help train and refine the next generation of AI systems. Your scientific expertise will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex biochemistry — from protein folding and enzyme kinetics to metabolic flux and molecular genetics. This is a rare opportunity to apply your deep domain knowledge to one of the most transformative technologies of our time, all from the comfort of your own schedule. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Design Advanced Problems — Craft challenging biochemistry problems spanning nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, drug-target interactions, and more to rigorously stress-test AI performance - Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical responses that serve as benchmarks for high-level scientific reasoning in AI systems - Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy and adherence to scientific standards - Identify and Correct Reasoning Errors — Pinpoint logical failures — such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misapplied biochemical principles — and deliver structured feedback to improve AI reasoning Who You Are - Holds a PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field - Strong foundational expertise in one or more of: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or proteomics - Able to communicate highly technical biological and chemical concepts clearly and precisely in writing - Detail-oriented with a sharp eye for errors in complex chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental logic - Self-motivated and comfortable working independently and asynchronously - No prior AI experience required Nice to Have - Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or scientific peer review - Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST - Background in writing scientific documentation, technical reports, or academic publications Why Join Us - Work on cutting-edge AI projects in partnership with leading AI research labs - Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, anywhere in the world - Make a meaningful impact on how AI handles scientific reasoning in the life sciences - Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global expert community - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
